Anyone aware of replacement bottom gaskets for these? Going to be getting a few of these while they are still available and would like to have a few gaskets, maybe a few glass tanks also.
Thanks

Last time I needed replacements (3 years+ago), I found them on FT.
Just got mine yesterday! All excited & I can"t unscrew the top off. WTH is this? Yes I'm using rubber gloves.
I received my Nautilus about a week ago and it was working great, really liking it. After my first refill and vaping about 2/3 of the juice, it starts leaking out the air hole, and gurgling, I took it apart and put it back together again making sure everything is tight was no help. Are these things just leakers? Really wanting to like these things, and wanted to get a couple more as I like the BVC coils.
Sounds like your coil gasket isn't sealing properly. Authentic coils? Tightening as much as possible when seating?
Auth., yes, I thought I had the coil plenty tight, but will try again. Thanks. 
Also consider flipping the upper gasket. Worked for one of mine. Used a couple for 3yrs straight and never needed parts. Great tank.Auth., yes, I thought I had the coil plenty tight, but will try again. Thanks.
Keep in mind that tightening as much as possible isn't always the way to go when it comes to orings on coil heads.
This is especially true for the semi-translucent silicone gaskets. They are so soft that if you over tighten things they can deform and cause a poor seal. But this can even happen with black and red orings too.
Not saying this is the case with you but it's always good to keep in mind if you can't figure out what's causing a leak.

Spot on, UJ. A firm close is good, but wrenching things down tight as you can defeats the purpose of the seal. None of my Nautilus or Nautilus 2 tanks ever leaked in years of use. My fave system with the 0.7 ohm mesh coils (those really last!)
Dont crank down in the tank and silicon seal. Finger right is goid. The coil needs a firm seating.
Just a thought. There are clone Nautilus tanks out there. Did you check the verification code on the box? Likewise for coils.
I never had leaks from a Nautilus and I've used them for years.

I tried scratching the for the code, and wasn't able to read it. A coin wasn't able to remove the covering, and a knife edge tore it up.
If it's any consolation the only Regular Nautilus I bought just leaked like a sieve.
I would get the Nautilus 2s or the even newer one they made. The construction is much better as is the vape (although it's hard to enjoy a vape when eliquid is just cascading down your fingers.)
Maybe the place who sold it to you will let you turn it in for an upgrade. Just a thought?

It's working good again for now. I dunno, maybe when I took the bottom off it loosened the coil in the base a bit, and possibly wasn't tight enough to begin with. Hope I can keep it working good, I'd like to get a couple more.
That's a possibility. I haven't used a Nautilus in while, but I remember many times (when unscrewing the tank for refilling) the coil head being unscrewed completely or partially from the base. This happens because the the tank's chimney threads to the coil head (that's how the tank stays together), so sometimes if that connection is tight, it will grab hard and unscrew the coil at the base rather than at the chimney. Always make it a point to check the coil is screwed in properly to the base when disassembling/reassembling the tank.
I haven't tried to clean my New Nautilus Mini after Struggling to Just Disassemble for the first time. I won't mess with it, till after watching 'Disassembling Utube Tut' & I'm ready for possible frustrations. n
